This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.

Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better memory-storage devices. Developed by RIKEN physicists, this technique could make ...

The turtles danced with the most enthusiasm in the tank when they knew they would get food. This was "strong evidence" that ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

What is space weather, what causes it, and how does it affect humans? Physicist Robyn Millan, who co-chaired a recent ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

Indian Institute of Astrophysics develops a novel method to predict the size and speed of solar storms, enhancing forecasting capabilities for Earth's technology and infrastructure.

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...
